My ongoing theme is always the truth, as I see it, and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

The late astrophysicist Carl Sagan, and British Science Fiction
writer Sir Arthur C Clarke along with English theoretical physicist,
cosmologist, and author Stephen Hawking candidly discuss the Big Bang theory,
Black Holes, God, our existence, the Universe as well as the possibility of
extraterrestrial life ~ brilliantly moderated by the late BBC Television
Journalist Magnus Magnusson. These three brilliant minds search for
answers to our vast Universe which Sagan once correctly said is only bearable
or understandable through LOVE ~ because love, I maintain, joins us to the innate
thread of love and soul consciousness that lies deepest within each one of us
and also to the basic uniting and healing force of the Universe, the Unified Field: Allen
L Roland

When
we see GOD as a loving plan in action and each one of us as co-creators in that
evolutionaryloving plan ~ it becomes obviousto
methat the principle property of my Unified Fieldis that very same
urge to unite which exists deepestwithinthe basic molecule to galacticspace itself through asymptotic freedom. It isthen
that I begin to understand that the Universe is also awaiting its call to unite, just as we most certainly are.

Teilhard's
law of complexity / consciousness explains
the evolutionary basis ofthis loving planand with each evolutionaryleap in consciousness, there is a leap in complexity as well
as resultant increase in theurge to unite.
Teilhard's theory ofPlurality, union and
energy also explains the Big Bang theory for when we all come eventually
together ~ we will see that the Universe is doing precisely the same thingand driven by the same urge to unite.

Here's
this brilliant cast of characters you will now experience ~

Arthur
C Clarke established himself as a preeminent science fiction and nonfiction
writer during the mid-20th century. He wrote the novels Childhood’s End and
2001: A Space Odyssey, which was also turned into a film with Stanley Kubrick.
Clarke authored more than 100 books, and many of his ideas around science had
links to future technological innovation. Clarke died on March 19, 2008.

Stephen
Hawking is the former Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of
Cambridge and author of A Brief History of Time which was an international
bestseller. Now Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at
Cambridge, his other books for the general reader include A Briefer History of
Time, the essay collection Black Holes and Baby Universe and The Universe in a
Nutshell.

Carl
Sagan was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, science
popularizer and science communicator in astronomy and natural sciences.
However, he is best known for his contributions to the scientific research of
extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production
of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first
physical messages that were sent into space: the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager
Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any
extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them.

Where
else could we bring together three great minds, two on them deceased, and show
how their thinking, many years ago, could well be leading to a grandUnified Field or, as Hawking once said, there has
to be something simple and profound about a grand unified field ~ and what
could be more simple, yet profound than love.

Sit
back and relax and watch these three brilliant minds lay the groundwork for my Unified Field of love and soul consciousness
whose principle property is the universal urge to unite.

"If there were no real propensity to unite, even at a
prodigiously rudimentary level, indeed, in the molecule itself, it would be
physically impossible for love to appear higher up in the human form"
Teilhard de Chardin

Seldom have I seen a
television series as brilliantly accomplished as HBO's True Detective. It seemed that Matthew
McConaughey and Woody Harrelson inspired each other to new heights of character
development. Essentially this series was about the fall and redemption of two
morally fallen detectives who both reconnected to the love that was deepest
within themselves in the final episode ~ after almost being killed ~ both saving
each other while bonding with each other at a soul level in the process: Allen L
Roland

Having worked with combat veterans with PTSD for over 4
years, many of whom were taught to kill and many with major issues of guilt,
sadness and unworthiness ~ virtually all had strong bonds with their fellow
warriors since all had faced the darkness and survived but had bonded with each
other in the process. By touching their hearts, in my work, through
gratefulness, they began to realize that those who they loved deeply were still
part of them and especially their fellow warriors who did not make it ~ but were
still gifts in their life.

True detective featured two battle hardened detectives,
who could have well been two combat soldiers, who learned to accept and love
each other while risking their lives together against a common enemy ~ who
almost killed them before they each saved each other at the risk of their own
life.

Of important note, as revealed in Episode 8, Marty and
Rust both discovered what lay beneath their guilt and sadness issues and it was
love as well as the truth of Teilhard's words ~ "Love alone is
capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them
for it alone takes them and joins them to what is deepest within
themselves."

To me, it was Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with Robert Redford and Paul Newman, but they
didn't have to go down in a hail of bullets to find true redemption ~ for
they found it deepest within themselves.

Here's the ending of Season
1, Episode 8, the finale of first season ~ 8 minute video

Marty and Rust have their last conversation
~ complete with credits and the last song that's played.

Rust comments on his near-death experience:"There was a moment, I know when I
was under in the dark, that something… whatever I'd been reduced to, not even
consciousness, just a vague awareness in the dark ~ I could feel my definitions
fading. And beneath that consciousness there was another kind ~ it was a deeper
form ~ like a substance.

I
could feel man, I knew my daughter waited for me, there.

So
clear, I could feel her. I could feel … could feel the peace of my Pop,
too.

It
was like I was part of everything I have ever loved, and we were all, the three
of us, just fading out. And all I had to do was let go, man.

And
I did ~ I said ' Darkness, yeah' and I disappeared… but I could still feel her
love there ~ even more than before ~ nothing but that love. And then I woke up
…. ………… there's just one story, the oldest …
light versus dark."

Marty
attentively listens and comments as he looks into the night sky ~ that it
appears the dark is winning but Rust is obviously now seeing through different
eyes ~ "If you ask me, I
think the light is winning" were Rust's final words to Marty as he looks at the night sky while being
illegally wheeled away from the hospitalby a willing, accepting and loving Marty.

And guess what, the light is indeed winning ~ as I well
know.

I have surrendered to the paralyzing weight of fear (and
apparent death) twice ~ once as a Navy fighter pilot apparently stalling out
after a night cat shot and later in lifewhen
everything I cherished was violently taken away and there was nowhere to turn.
Both times I found a deep source of direction and strength within myself as
well as a subtle but profound sense that my life was being divinely guided as
long as I remained in heartfelt service.

We all have angels in our life and we must continually be
grateful for their being and presence. Marty and Rust found one in each other ~
thus in the end,true
detectives became true friends.

Finally, in this world of constant crisis, we have a reminder
that we are part of something vast and magical that Carl Sagan introduced us to
with his 1980's Cosmos series. Neil deGrasse Tyson channels the spirit of Sagan
with his Cosmos: a spacetime Odyssey on March 9th and reinforces Sagan's
observation that we are still the way for the cosmos to know itself: Allen L
Roland

When
Carl Sagan's Cosmos: A
Personal Journey aired on PBS in 1980, it went on to win an
Emmy Award and become that network’s most-watched series, by more than 700
million people worldwide. Not only did it capture the majesty of the universe
and the possibility of humankind’s potential, it also ~ thanks to the charisma
of its host, the late astrophysicist Carl Sagan ~ transformed the way the public regarded
science.

It
most certainly inspired my mind and imagination for I have always felt a deep
kinship with space and innately knew that a deep love within myself somehow was
connected to a Unified Fieldof love and soul
consciousness that existed beyond time and space. Longfellow called it
"the thread of all sustaining beauty that runs through all and
doth all unite "

Here's
Carl Sagan's brilliant introduction to the original 1980 Cosmos and it still
deeply stirs my imagination and deep sense of awe and wonder as well as my own
connection with the Universe through love. Four minute video ~

In 2012 the Library of Congress designated the book version of Sagan's show as
one of 88 books that shaped America (among the
others were “Moby-Dick” and “The Joy of Cooking”). In a foreword to a new
edition of that book, Dr. Neil Tyson writes that the show revealed “a hidden
hunger in us all to learn about our place in the universe and embrace why that
matters intellectually, culturally and emotionally.”

Now, an equally inspiredastrophysicist
Neil deGrasse Tyson and executive producers Ann Druyan and
Brannon Braga have launched an ambitious remake of the seminal '80s science
series attempts to channel the spirit of Carl Sagan while introducing the
universe to a new generation of viewers.

The
resulting 13-episode resurrection of that iconic series ~ Cosmos:
A Spacetime Odyssey, premiering March 9th and 10th on Fox and
National Geographic channels ~ is both a continuation and updating of
Sagan's message.

Of
course, the new series has its spaceship of imagination ~ an immersive
transport spaceship that takes viewers through the universe) and a Cosmic Calendar
(which scales the life of the universe down to a year) ~ but enhances them with
advancements in digital effects. Computer-generated effects also recreate the
Library of Alexandria and its surrounding city.

In the first episode on Sunday,
March 9th, “Standing Up in the Universe,” we roam the streets of Rome as
Tyson recounts the story of Giordano Bruno, the philosopher who was
burned at the stake in 1600 for professing the existence of an infinite number
of worlds beyond our own. That's what still happens to truth tellers and that
was the early dawn of the scientific age, only a decade before Galileo looked through a telescope and saw
that Bruno was right.

Much of the first episode consists
of a tour of the solar system and then outward as Dr. Tyson fills out what he
calls our long address ~ for earth, as Sagan once pointed out, is but "a
small stage in a vast cosmic arena" filled with millions
of galaxies and billions of solar systems as
well as planets (and perhaps many of them life bearing).Earth.

And then we get to hop aboard a
cosmic calendar in which the 13.8-billion-year history
of the universe has been compressed to 365 days and right now ~ it's
midnight on New Year’s Eve.

On this scale, Dr. Tyson correctly
reports, the sun was born on Aug. 31, and the dinosaurs died yesterday morning
in that asteroid blast. Everybody you ever heard of, all the kings and queens and
prophets, lived in the last 14 seconds of this cosmic year. “Jesus was born
five seconds ago,” he goes on.

“In the last second we
began to do science,” he concludes. “It
allowed us to discover where and when we are in the cosmos.”

"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a
profound source of spirituality," Carl
Sagan wrote. "When we recognize our place in an immensity of
light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty,
and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and
humility combined, is surely spiritual.For
small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love."

As Harvey Wasserman expounds ~ Fukushima's missing melted cores
and gushing radioactivity continues to fester in secret and speculation on the
ultimate impact borders from relatively harmless to intensely apocalyptic. However, it is obvious to all that the impacts of
these emissions on human and ecological health are unknown primarily because
the nuclear industry has resolutely refused to study them: Allen L Roland

As
Wasserman explains ~" This "see
no evil, pay no damages” mindset dates from the Bombing of Hiroshima to
Fukushima to the disaster coming next … which could be happening as you
read this " so here are some major points to consider as you determine
, as I do, that this is indeed Apocalypse Now (courtesy of Harvey
Wasserman)

1. At Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945), the U.S. military initially deniedthat there
was any radioactive fallout, or that it could do any damage. Despite an absence
of meaningful data, the victims (including a group of U.S. prisoners of war)
and their supporters were officially “discredited” and scorned

2. During and after the Bomb Tests (1946-63), down winders in the
South Pacific and American west, along with thousands of U.S. “atomic vets,”
were told their radiation-induced health problems were imaginary … until
they proved utterly irrefutable.

4. Stack monitors and other monitoring devices failed at (TMI)
Three Mile Island (1979) making it impossible to know how much radiation
escaped, where it went or who it impacted and how.

5.
But some 2,400 TMI downwind victims and their families were denied
a class action jury trial by a federal judge who said “not enough radiation”
was released to harm them, though she could not say how much that was or where
it went.

9.Key low-ball Chernobyl death
estimates come from the World Health Organization, whose numbers are overseen
by International Atomic Energy Agency, a United Nations organization chartered
to promote the nuclear industry.

10.
When Fukushima Units 1-4 began to explode, President Obama assured
us all the fallout would not come here, and would harm no one, despite having
no evidence for either assertion.

12.
Devastating health impacts reported by sailors stationed aboard
the USS Ronald Reagan near Fukushima are being denied by the industry and Navy, who say
radiation doses were too small to do harm, but have no idea what they were.

13. Though it denies the sailors on the Reagan were exposed to enough
Fukushima radiation to harm them, Japan (like South Korea and Guam) denied the
ship port access because it was too radioactive (it’s now docked in San
Diego).

16. To the extent they can be known, the quantities and make-up of
radiation pouring out of Fukushima are also now a state secret, with independent measurement or
public speculation punishable by up to ten years in prison.

17. Likewise, “There is no systematic testing in the U.S. of air,
food and water for radiation,” according to University of
California (Berkeley) nuclear engineering Professor Eric Norman.

18.
No current dismissal of general human and ecological impacts ~”apocalyptic”
or otherwise ~ can account over time for the very long half-lives of
radioactive isotopes Fukushima is now pouring into the biosphere.

19. As Fukushima’s impacts spread through the centuries, the one
certainty is that no matter what evidence materializes, the nuclear industry
will never admit to doing any damage, and will never be forced to pay for it .

20. Hyman Rickover, father of the nuclear navy,
warned that it is a form of suicide to raise radiation levels within Earth’s
vital envelope, and that if he could, he would “sink” all the reactors he
helped develop. “Now when we go back to using nuclear power,”
he said in 1982, “I think the human race is
going to wreck itself, and it is important that
we get control of this horrible force and try to eliminate it.”
See full article: http://ecowatch.com/2014/02/02/50-reasons-fear-fukushima/

Dr Ken Buesseler is a
senior scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution who has examined the
waters around Fukushima, makes his assessment of the situation: "It
is not over yet by a long shot, Chernobyl was in many ways a one week
fire-explosive event, nothing with the potential of this right on the ocean.
We've been saying since 2011 that the reactor site is still leaking whether
that's the buildings and the ground water or these new tank releases. There's
no way to really contain all of this radioactive water on site. Once it gets
into the ground water, like a river flowing to the sea, you can't really stop a
ground water flow. You can pump out water, but how many tanks can you keep
putting on site?"

So there you have it, it's quite likely that we are
presently experiencing Apocalypse Now and only future generations will
experience and judge the life threatening errors of our ways, regarding nuclear
power.
